Right, Chris, wish it came down here?- but as you might agree, the
activities further south may be related to the extremely dry and dusty
weather as of late, e.g., in Texas.

Here's a great link with the pictures of the Northern Lights, though,
wow, they were fantastic:

Yes, the auroral activity extended very far south. We had a strong
showing of red (and green) auroras here in central Colorado, with
activity straight overhead, so I'm not surprised it might be seen in
Texas. The show tonight looked very similar to what we saw back in the
early 2000s, when auroras were seen even in northern Mexico.

The show lasted about 30 minutes, and started about an hour after
sunset. Nothing for the last few hours, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

is/was due to hit Earth today??? Anyone know for sure what is going on?
